I keep talking about quad core i3s because IMO Intel needs to increase the core count of all their processors from the top to the bottom of their current lineup. 5% improvements for each generation just doesn't cut it. They have really left the door open for AMD with Zen. I don't have a lot of faith in AMD's engineers, management, or marketing right now, but they do have a glorious opportunity this year with Zen. Intel has really been floundering.
Can you post links to some articles that say lack of cores in the installed user base is holding the computer industry back? Show my why I'm wrong and I'll admit it.
It will not matter if AMD makes a good CPU. They have lost what little confidence America had in them. The installed base of intel motherboards is over 90%. They would have to pull off another Athlon 64 vs P4 sort of scenario to even get a little market back.
